Getting Mom's Attention

MAX

Last night when Mom went to bed I was resting on my top shelf but I thought I should remind her that I might want to come in the bedroom later. So I walked down the hallway but the bedroom door was already closed!!! I called out just to let her know that she should open the door.meow

Hmmm, I don't think she heard me. Maybe I should try a little louder.MEOWMEOWMEOW

Mom, open the door. Mom? (scratchscratchscratchs on floor)

MEOWMEOWMEOW

Mom!! Can you hear me!! Maybe I should knock lightly.

MmmmROW, MMMROWR (beats on door with paws)

M-O-O-O-O-OM!!!! I know you're in there!MMMMM ROWROWROWOROWR (slides body along door & head butts door repeatedly)George, Mom's in there and she won't open the door! What should I do?!

GEORGE

MOM!!! Are you OK!! MO-O-MMMMMM!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!!MOM

(opens door) For heaven's sake Max, what is it?! Do you want to come in? Well, don't just sit there...come on!!

MAX

I don't want to come in right now. I just want to tell you to leave the door open in case I might want to come in later.

Really, why do dey close doors anyway? It's not like dey gots something to hide from us! Oh sure, dad whines about getting his head (and sensitive parts) stepped on, but really, if he would just leave space fur us on da bed we wouldn't need to keep making him move over.

Hahaha that made us laugh. Our Beans always leave the bedroom door open, but then they complain when we climb over them in the middle of the night. We are only checking to make sure they are all right.
